To my knowledge, nowhere. Not publicly anyway.
How'd you see it? You got insider connections or something?

How about we dont pester the guy. Obviously, he has connections we dont, must we know more? I mean its not like he's at the liberty of showing us the pics. Lets just be glad we have another person like Chainclaw who is willing to answer some of our questions to tide us over the eventual reveal.

I didn't know he had connections. He sounded like pics had been seen here before, which confused me, so I asked out of curiosity. That is all.

Thats not true, he answered that the picutres werent public, so right there its where it stops. there was no need for you to further ask what his connection is once he said the image had not been found elsewhere, that was the pestering.

So, one of my friends said that Sovereign looks terrible just because his face isn isn't painted. I have no issue with this (mainly because I could just paint it myself, in fact, my friend makes customs, so he could also just paint it himself), but I can see how people who don't have very good painting skills would be really put off by it. Also, it is probably just a prototype. Maybe the final production version will have a painted face? Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

I doubt it. If anything, the final products usually have less paint than the shown hasbro prototypes.

That's actually very true. I honestly can't think of an instance where the final looked as good as or better than the prototype. That was just wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks to Weibo user Starscream we have new images of the Titans Return legends class Rumble and Laserbeak! Laserbeak, seen here for the first time, is a repaint of the previously seen Buzzsaw, while Rumble is a slight retool of Rewind, finally being shown off for the first time with his new head after being shown with a repainted Rewind head at comic con. Check out the images mirrored below. Do you like these little cons? Will they go nice with Soundwave? Let us know what you think in the comments section!

I think you mean Laserbeak and Frenzy. [-(

by **YoungPrime** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 7:11 am

I don't see Rumble anywhere.

In any case it's a pass regardless. My PE Rumble and Frenzy and MP Laserbeak and Buzzsaw fit my collections fine.

Is this A-3?

Looks like A-3 to me.
Man, he looks AWESOME!

Thanks to our favorite source of current Titans Return leaks Zmultiplier we now have a new image of the Titans Return Alpha Trion toy in box art form! This image shows off part of the back of the packaging where the product shot is in robot mode in black and white, essentially giving us our first look at the toy itself. Check out the image mirrored below. Does it look cool? What do you think of this triple changing version of Alpha Trion? Let us know in the comments section and stay tuned for all the latest transformers news and galleries!

Frankly, I'm liking Alpha Trion's new look less and less with each new picture. The helmet is particularly bewildering.

I just want to see the darned thing as a colored toy with both alt modes now :MAXIMAL:

Not mine, but thought it was funny:

I don't like how little red there is on laserbeak. He's too black. It's like, how much more black can he be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Finally! Not a fan of those hands though, I hate open hands.

I didn't realize people were still arguing about Rumble and Frenzy...

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 11:31 am

It's going to be one of those eternal arguments, over which source material do you base rumble and frenzy off in terms of colours. I could see wars being waged for less ;-)

As for the new A3 pics, ice seen all I need to see of the bot mode, I want to see the beast mode :-D

You and me both! I have been waiting for pics of alt mode, they are just holding out on us! :MAXIMAL:

That's some lioncloth that Trion's got! mind you....it's certainly a BIG character :-P

by **RiddlerJ** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:11 pm

They should use the Rumble/Rewind mold for Grand Slam. That guy needs a decent toy.

The could use the upcoming Stripes mold for Raindance.

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 2:34 pm

Alpha Trion looks decent. Never been that into the character but the robot form looks somewhat majestic.

Soundwave's minions look bloody awful. I don't get how 30 year old Laserbeak has a far better bird form than one made that recently. At least the original one looks like it could glide. This one looks barely more aerodynamic than the boring brick it turns into. Booster X10 was a far better attempt at this sorta design in both his modes and he came out nearly a decade ago.

My bad fellas. I've been having a hard time logging onto the site as of late.

Yes, I have been fortunate enough to see a lot of the new stuff that's coming out. I'm hardly the only one, but I do appreciate what has been shared with me.

If anyone is going to Botcon we will talk about it over a beer or two (or 12. or when they close the bar)
